Saturday Morning Science Experiment: The Gummi Bear Gets It

Grab your favorite sugary cereal and pull up a seat. It's time for Saturday Morning Science Experiment! This week, we're finding out what happens to a gummi bear (i.e., sucrose) when it's dropped into molten potassium chlorate.

Got a video you want to see on Saturday Morning Science Experiment? Drop me an email, I'm taking suggestions.

Sekino, if your “What a reaction” was a nod to Don Showalter in the World of Chemistry videos, you win my person of the week award. You don’t really get anything for the award, but I will think highly of you until distracted by something shiny…

Not to supersede whatever videos may appear in future episodes of SMSE, but if you like science, physics and chemistry I suggest you check out the following three YouTube channels that come from the University of Nottingham:

Absolutely my favorite YouTube channels out there which are criminally underwatched. PeriodicVideos is exactly that, each video about a different element on the Periodic Table and experiments that explain each one. SixtySymbols is all about explaining hard-to-grasp physics and astronomy terms and theories. NottinghamScience is a behind-the-scenes look at Nottingham University’s science departments.
